Fibromialgia​

Painful points in fibromyalgia, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and nutrition

How is fibromyalgia treated at Biosalud?

At Biosalud Day Hospital, we treat any disease by searching for its causes.
Autoimmune diseases, and fibromyalgia in particular, require immunomodulatory treatment. For this, it is extremely important to determine the causal factors that have triggered the disease. Treatments with immunosuppressants often do not work and may even worsen the patient's symptoms.

Causes of Fibromyalgia

The specific causes of the onset of fibromyalgia are not known today despite the studies that have been carried out on the disease. Some results relate the disease to a deficiency in the pain threshold, as differences are seen at the brain level between a fibromyalgia patient and a healthy person, in brain activity and blood flow in response to a painful stimulus.

As a center for biological medicine, at Biosalud Day Hospital, we analyze the causes of fibromyalgia, always accompanied by viral or bacterial infections, metabolic alterations and especially the capacity of the mitochondria to manufacture energy, heavy metal intoxication, acidic pH, oxidative stress, etc.

Symptoms of Fibromyalgia

The main symptom is diffuse and generalized musculoskeletal pain or prominent stiffness that affects at least three anatomical locations and lasts for at least three months. The pain is usually intense and, in many cases, difficult to describe.

In general, it worsens with intense physical exercise, cold, and emotional stress. Painful symptoms are usually accompanied by sleep disturbances. Those who suffer from fibromyalgia have difficulty falling asleep or have very light sleep and wake up frequently during the night.

Treatment of Fibromyalgia

Once the pathophysiological diagnosis has been established and other diseases have been ruled out, a personalized treatment protocol is carried out with several phases where several of the techniques of biological medicine and, if necessary, conventional medicine are combined, that is, what we call integrative medicine is applied.

Among the techniques we apply within our biological medicine treatments are ozone therapy or molecular hyperthermia.

01

As a novelty, we have incorporated a new device to treat fibromyalgia at Biosalud that focuses on the use of very low intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation (LITMS). This treatment is designed to improve the symptoms of fibromyalgia, such as chronic pain, sleep disorders and fatigue, through non-invasive neuromodulation.

02

LITMS, according to recent studies, has proven to be effective in modulating brain activity, normalizing oscillation patterns in areas such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the insula, which translates into an improvement in pain and sleep quality of the patients (Modification in Pittsbu…) (Modification of Alpha B…). In addition, double-blind studies have confirmed that the application of low-intensity magnetic fields can reduce the pain threshold and improve the ability to perform daily activities without adverse side effects. (Reduction of the pain threshold…).

03

This device is safe and painless, providing an innovative and effective option for those who suffer from fibromyalgia, a debilitating condition with symptoms that seriously affect quality of life. The results indicate noticeable improvements after several sessions, which can be maintained in the long term.

04

The use of LITMS to treat fibromyalgia at Biosalud represents a significant advance, providing relief to patients without the common side effects of other pharmacological therapies, such as antidepressants or antiepileptic drugs.

Therapies

At Biosalud, we have been at the forefront of Medicine and Technology since 1985. We offer the most effective therapies with the most solid scientific basis for the treatment of fibromyalgia, and in many cases, unique in Spain, such as:
